Reviews and Ratings
My experience at the resort was quite mixed. The location is beautiful and the studio was well-equipped, but we faced some issues with the dining options not being available on certain days. The stairs to our room were a challenge, especially with our bags, and the noise from neighboring guests was disruptive. Overall, the stay had its positives, but there were definitely some drawbacks that impacted our enjoyment.
The resort is set in a beautiful area, but it has some significant drawbacks. Our room had a stunning view, but accessing it involved navigating a lot of steps, which was quite challenging. The dining experience was particularly disappointing, as the restaurant service was slow, and the facilities could definitely use improvement. While the pool had potential, the overall vibe felt somewhat neglected, making it hard to justify the price.
I had a rather disappointing stay at this resort. While some aspects like the amenities were promising, the lack of organization and cleanliness really took away from the experience. The location provides stunning views, but dealing with the various issues left a sour taste. It's definitely over-priced for what you receive.
My stay here had its ups and downs. The units were comfortable and had a decent view, but the bathrooms really need an upgrade. Getting around the site was quite challenging, especially at night due to the lack of lighting and handrails. While there were some nice features, overall, the experience was marred by several inconveniences.
I had a mixed experience at this resort. The rooms are spacious and offer lovely views, making for a comfortable stay. However, the dining service was quite disappointing, and some amenities, like the pool, were not in the best condition. Overall, while there were some nice aspects, there are several areas that need improvement.
